file-read-access? returns #f for non-existent files

Description

As seen on IRC:

<Seylerius> Hrm. Isn't file-read-access? supposed to error out on a nonexistent file?

Expected outcome:

(file-read-access? "/con/con") ;=> <file error>

Actual outcome:

(file-read-access? "/con/con") ;=> #f

I've worked out a patch with the help of TheLemonMan? on IRC.

The patch and the intended behaviour looks correct. But this would be a Change Request, I suppose.
